I have a home satellite dish, Direct TV, here in the States. The “All News Network” (ACN Channel 364) ran a spot tonight about the Lord of the Rings movies. It ran stock footage of the Rankin Bass and Bashki material, it also detailed fans’ dislike of them. It also showed the Net Teaser Trailer, but it was not from tape. They put it on a desktop and shot the monitor . I guess that is one way to work around a “Net” only preview. All in all it was a decent little piece that addressed the previous attempts by Hollywood, and Jackson’s too.

Ringer Spy Eowyn sends in her report on her adventures at the Helms Deep set.
I will try my best to describe what I saw although nothing I could ever say would come close to what it felt like to walk beneth that archway and into Middle-earth!
You have probably all asked, “What is it that I see from this roadside perch of mine or in the many pictures posted on the net?”
Well the answer actually is surprisingly little. [More]
